The Climate Changes Zealots are going to do their best to make this sound like Katrina II and then try to blame Trump for backing out of the Paris accord, yada, yada.
Note to non-Texans: You will see pictures of Interstate 10 underwater. It’s happened several times before. One stretch planners cleverly decided to tunnel under the cross streets on the way to downtown instead of jumping over them. Result: Floods every time there is heavy rains. Dramatic photos for the media to exploit.
If it dawdles around Houston, it will be worse than the underrated Tropical Storm Allison if 2001 in terms of damage. If the eye moves inland, though, it should peter out into a nice rain storm which we Texans will have back to normal in a week or two.
I’m hoping it comes further inland so the I-35 corridor gets a good cooling off. It’s August, after all.
And every time there is a big rain and the low spots flood some fools drive off into it and drown. Either that or the freeway gridlocks, the water rises, they stay in their cars and drown.
